 From 0 to 60 in five Jan 06, 2007
By Jon Zuck
"frimmin"
I used this book to go from virtually no knowledge of Spanish grammar, to pretty decent competence with everything it covers (all parts of speech up including the most common verb tenses). In my opinion, it's probably the best of it's class. There are hundreds of exercises, and if you do them all, you'll end up learning the subject.
Much more than grammar is covered, though. It's great for giving an excellent basic vocabulary that covers many aspects of daily life. One particularly clever trick it uses to boost vocabulary is inconspicuously including many cognates unannounced among the Spanish vocabulary that is taught. The result is you find you can use and understand far more words than you were consciously learning.
A surprisingly early chapter has you reading a rather detailed and convincing letter about a family trip to Mexico that touches on archeology, music, language, personal feelings, and more.
The pace is very fast... If you're brand-new to Spanish, and you don't know how to count to ten, or that "perro" means dog, you might want something a tad more basic first.
Also, it's dense. If you already know some Spanish words, all the exercises in each of the earlier chapters can be done in a single sitting, but by the middle of the book, plan on spending several days on each chapter... The exercises will stretch you and make you think and process what's been covered.
Lastly, it's not a tourist' phrasebook. It's vocabulary goes quickly far beyond "tourist Spanish," and I recommend it highly for the traveller; but it doesn't replace a well-planned phrasebook oriented to tourist needs

 Clear and concise textbook Jul 13, 2007
By Erminio Milenrama
I began teaching a community enrichment class in Spanish and was looking for something less cumbersome in a textbook. After considering many different texts I chose Easy Spanish. This book is not overwhelming for most people having their first experience with Spanish and is very inexpensive. It lacks graphics which may account for the reasonable price but I was able to make up for that with handouts in class. Most people were interested in travel and this book is small enough to take along allowing for continued study; right when its needed most. I also like the organization, although its a little fast as regards grammer, it does allow people to develop some basic conversational skills quickly. All of the grammatical concepts and vocabulary are reintroduced in readings in the following chapters which provides great reinforcement and a sense of achievement.

Easy to learn spanish Mar 01, 2007
By G. Pollock
I am using this book in a mini course at college. It is easier to understand than some textbooks, and explains the concepts well. I would recomend this book to any beginning spanish student.

Now I can Speak Spanish Feb 09, 2009
By Joseph J. Slevin
I took five years of Spanish in Jr. and Sr. High School. I have acquired a number of books, tapes and cd packages over the years to help me to learn Spanish and this one is the only one that helped me to communicate in clear, essential and complete sentences.
Too many books focus on words and phrases that, although great for travel or in the class room, are utterly limited in communicating in day to day language. I was hoping to find and looking for a book that would get me 'over the hurdle' I was facing communicating with my extended family.
Just recently I spent two weeks in Latin America. With a few sentences, there were some who thought I spoke the language fluently. However, when speaking ot family members, I was able to conjugate and speak in complete sentences in the proper tense. Amazing as well is how patient Latin Americans were with me with my lack of ability as well.
The above occurred with only a few chapters under my belt. I cannot wait to finish the book to be able to have conversations of a much more deeper nature.
This book features verbs, adjectives and then you build way beyond on that in steps. You get a list of vocabulary words with each chapter and then you get answer questions and fill in the blanks with the new information you just learned. You can also go at your own pace. I recommend that you have a pen and notebook always handy with your Step by Step book for review.
An amazing book on building your ability to speak in a foriegn language. I think 'Easy Spanish Step by Step' is an essential tool for anyone wanting and needing to learn Spanish.

 Close, but no 4 star Apr 09, 2011
By C. A. SMITH
This is an effective, well organized introduction to Spanish. The emphasis is on learning the grammar rather than on memorizing phrases. In my view, this is the only way Spanish should be taught, with the possible exception of learning "traveler's Spanish" for a specific, near term application.
The book stays in the present tense up to the last three chapters, where the present subjunctive, the simple past tense, and the imperfect tenses are introduced. A good addition would have been to introduce past participles and the present prefect tense, which is used more in Spanish than in English. The author briefly discusses double object pronouns, but unaccountably fails to mention the 'le/les' to 'se' transformation. Another half page here would have been an improvement.
I would have liked to have given the book four stars, but there is a strange error on pages 184 and 188 that causes me to reduce the rating to three stars. The error seems not to be one of editing, but rather caused by a grammatical misunderstanding on the part of the author. On page 184, she states that the direct object pronouns for usted and ustedes are 'le' and 'les'. This is incorrect; the correct pronouns are 'lo' and 'la' for usted and 'los' and 'las' for ustedes. The error is repeated with a chart followed by examples on page 188.
There is a form of pronoun usage in Spain called leismo, where 'le' replaces 'lo' for singular, masculine, human, direct objects. Perhaps this is what has the author confused. This grammatical variant is approved by the academy but should not be taught to beginners, unless they are planning on learning European Spanish only. There are other variations in the use of direct and indirect object pronouns, but they are not considered to be grammatically correct. This would be like teaching "me and him will do it" to English learners instead of "he and I will do it". It is commonly heard, but has no place in a basic grammar book.
